For now, Krejci is being considered day-to-day. The Bruins will decide later tonight or tomorrow morning if they need to call up a player from AHL Providence for Tuesday’s game in Winnipeg (per CSNNE.com’s Joe Haggerty).

Krejci, 26, is second on the Bruins with 24 points. And after the loss of Chris Kelly to a broken left tibia, Boston would’ve found itself exceedingly thin down the middle if the injury had been more serious.

I’m sure he’s got a huge bruise above the knee. No way that shot could have hit his knee cap. The knee cap is well protected by the knee cup, or upper portion of the shin pads. There is a small area above the shin pad and hockey pants that is exposed, which where he got hit. Hope we won’t miss a game.
